The Mushroom Cloud Formerly Known As My Mind

So it's now official - the Iranian Jewish community supports Iran's nuclear program, or at least the Iranian parliamentary representative of the Jewish community does. I guess they think it's actually for power production and not for bomb-making. Well, I guess it's natural to support the country you live in...

Wait. Iranian Jews?

The Iranian parliamentary representative of the Jewish community?

Whoa. Dude. Once I track down the wayward pieces of my skull, I'll learn more about these Iranian Jews...

Oh, and here's my favorite line from the article: "But [Jewish parliamentary representative] Motamed differed from Iranian President Ahmadinejad on the subject of the Holocaust. While Ahmadinejad has repeatedly denied the historical truth of the Holocaust, calling it a 'myth,' Motamed believes that the murder of six million Jews and other minorities did actually take place."

Leave it to a news organization to temper the most surprising revelations with a heavy dose of the blindingly obvious.
